@not_a_newtsmart EVs are effectively disposable since there's no way to buy a replacement battery once the original fails, even though every battery eventually dies. an uncharged vehicle sat idle for a couple of months and the power died, leaving the whole car unusable because manufacturers stopped producing those batteries entirely. the situation is just bricked with no fix available.

An elderly woman stands next to a white Smart electric car. She is leaning on a cane and pointing towards the car. The mood is candid and everyday. The car has an "electric drive" label and a stylized "E" logo.
